存在型强势主位结构的语篇功能

本文旨在探讨存在型强势主位结构(即"存在(小)句"或"存在结构")的语篇功能。本研究表明,除了在"话语修复"中的"更正功能"外,该结构主要有三大功能:语篇发起功能、语篇延续功能和语篇总结功能。语篇发起功能又可分为三类:引入主题功能、铺设场景功能、标明体裁(及同时引入主题)功能。语篇延续功能又可分为九类:(1)发展主题功能;(2)预示话题转换功能;(3)突出典型事例功能;(4)着重确认功能;(5)列举功能;(6)提醒功能;(7)建议功能;(8)补偿(信息)功能;(9)评价功能。所有这些语篇功能最终被绘制成一个分类表。

The Discourse Functions of the Existential Enhanced Theme Construction

This paper aims to explore the discourse functions of the existential enhanced theme construction.It is il-lustrated that besides the repair function of correction,the construction basically serves three broad functions：the ini-tiation function,the continuation function and the concluding function.It can contribute to the initiation of the dis-course by introducing a topic,setting the scene for the upcoming event,or marking the genre of the discourse as well as introducing a topic simultaneously.The continuation function can be classified into nine sub-categories：the topic-developing function,the topic-shift signaling function,the instance-highlighting function,the emphatic confirmation function,the listing function,the reminding function,the suggesting function,the countervailing function,and the evaluative function.All the discourse functions of the construction are succinctly captured in a taxonomy.
